MY TIDBITS

Uplifting and full of self-confidence building moments, this books celebrates everything about being you.

The little girl in these pages is adorable and full of energy. More importantly, she is very content with who she is. With light rhyme, the text accompanies her from one activity to the next. Each time, she states (and shows) what she likes about being her. It is inspiring and full of positivity as everything from looks to actions is explored. 

With each page, the encouraging message comes across loud and clear. While this centers around the little girl, readers will have no problem putting themselves into her shoes and find themselves caught up in positive self-imaging. The building thoughts are contagious and, thanks to the broad spectrum shown, offer something which connects with almost any reader. The artistic and inviting images make each moment come across clearly and add visual fun. It's a lovely read not only for groups but individuals, too.

And here they are...
